"I don't know I just couldn't stand seeing that woman being away from her baby like that." Sally yells to Fusho down the street from their house. Their house is more off the grid from everywhere else. More in an abandoned neighborhood in the middle of everything but kind of out of site. Looks like a house on the outside but it's a lot more than that on the inside. They finally make it inside and it's an awkward silence between the two as they make their way down through the elevator. "I just know how it feels to be away from your parents and I don't want anyone to ever feel like that, especially an innocent little baby." Sally says continuing to explain to Fusho about her outburst back at the bank. "Even though it was triggered through emotion, what you did back their was kinda awesome." Fusho said to his sister. "You are a lot stronger than you think Sally just remember that." Sally blushes at her brother's compliment.

Even though she was older than Fusho she always did look up to Fusho when it came to stuff like this, just simply because he was superior in the fighting department of things. "Yeah whatever." Sally says rolling her eyes walking out the elevator hiding her smirk from Fusho. "So what's next?" Fusho asked. "The clue clan still have the golden ball, and thanks to that little delay we got into they probably already two steps ahead of us." "Well we did have the device we found in the car shop that could give us a clue if we analyze it, give it here." Sally says reaching her hand out to Fusho. Fusho stares at her hand and his head becomes warm. "Fusho?!" Sally says letting her arm down and stomping the ground. "You lost it didn't you?" She asks.

Fusho scratches the back of his head. " I mean well it's not lost lost I know where I left it." He says shyly. "Ok well where did u leave it?" Sally asks as she becomes impatient. "In the police car." Fusho answered looking away. The room was quite for a minute as Sally just stared at her brother. "In the police car." She repeats out loud. "The police car we blew up?" Fusho face is now red. "Y-yes." He stutters. Sally sighs. "Well I can go and see if I can trace the golden ball energy trail." Sally heads to the secret basement to start her research. Fusho went to the training room to be ready when Sally finds something.

(At the Clue clan HQ)
"Sir phase two is complete, the golden ball machine is ready for testing." Dusty says to his master. "Good is there any cyborgs ready for the test?" Master Clue asks. "Um sir we already ran some test and looked it over, the machine will only work if the subject has no metal on them. They will have to be all flesh." Dusty explains to Master Clue. "Well then we are going to have to fetch us some flesh then." Master Clue says. "You and a team head out and don't bring attention to yourselves bring back a test subject so we can complete the final step." With that being said Dusty took a group of CC cyborgs and headed out to find the perfect test subject.

(Later that day Fusho's P.O.V)
I can feel my heart beating faster as I keep up with all the holographic CCC's. I quickly grab my water as I finish the 7th set of a class 3 simulation, I'm almost officially a rating of a class 4 life form if I can complete the 10th set of class 3 I can move on into a low-tier class 4 so right now I'll be considered a high-tier class 3. Getting ready to start the 8th set our alarm system starts to go off. I finish drinking my bottle of water and run out the training room into the computer room where Sally was tracking the golden ball from.

I walk to through the doorway to see Sally looking at the big computer, she quickly turns around to me and points at the screen. "Fusho I found them!" She said typing furiously on the computer. "They have the golden ball on them?" I ask her even though the answer is pretty obvious considering she was using the energy of the golden ball to find them. "Yeah they seem to not even be secretive about it." She said as a more surprise look on her face appears more noticeable. "What you mean?" I ask her leaning over to look at her face and the screen. "They are kidnapping random people!" She said as she heads upstairs. I follow her as I grab a jetpack from the supply room. We turn on the T.V in the living room to see on the news that there is live footage of the Clue clan kidnapping people in broad daylight. "What the heck are they doing that for?" I yell the question. Before Sally could answer I speed out the room into the hallway and through the door. Using my speed I start my jetpack for boost and I'm on my way there.
(End of P.O.V)

(Downtown Las Vegas)
In the middle of chaos, screaming, and panic the Clue clan continues to take people against their will and throwing them into portals. Although in the middle of the day their identities is still hiding under all the members cloaks. Fusho arrives to see the complete madness of what was happening. Without hesitation Fusho begins to destroy as much ccc bots as he could. Dusty quickly realized that their plan is working almost to easy. He floats over fast to Fusho, head butting him hard to knock Fusho off his feet. "Bots return to bass that's all the test monkeys we need!" Dusty commands the bots to fall back and they all start disappearing through the portals. "Test monkeys?" Fusho ask getting back to his feet. "Test monkeys for what?" He asks. Dusty smiles and starts to chuckle. "You'll find out soon enough." He smirks. With not being satisfied with the answer Fusho blast an energy beam towards Dusty but to only have the beam go straight through Dusty and into a building.

Dusty is made up of only small rock particles and can't be phased by physical harm, he is also a mid-tier class 4. The only  thing that can be hurt on him is his head. In response to the energy beam Dusty controls pebbles that's laying behind Fusho and fires them in the back of his head. "Arughh!" Fusho yells as he reach the back of his head to feel blood oozing from where the pebbles was stuck in his head at. Dusty keeps slowly drilling the pebbles into the back of Fusho's skull. Fusho then starts to yell in agony and tries his best to take them out. Dusty floats over towards Fusho who is now on his hands and knees grunting and crying at the pain he feels in his head. "They pack a punch don't they?" Dusty ask Fusho. "Think of them as little bullets constantly being shot into your head." Dusty bends down over Fusho. "Thought I would have had a harder time taking you down... seems like I overestimated you. Turns out I don't need this after all." Dusty takes the golden ball from out of his sand like body. Your just as weak as your fami-." Before he could finish his sentence the golden ball begins to shine and burn him. "Arghh!" Dusty yells as he quickly drops the golden ball on the ground as well as losing control of the pebbles launched inside of Fusho's head.

Fusho head slowly looks up at Dusty with glowing gold eyes. Dusty looks scared and confused. "How did you-?" He is interrupted again by Fusho's eye blast. "Don't... you DARE....talk about my family!" Fusho yells as he continues to blast him aiming for his head and sending him into a car. As soon as Fusho stops the golden ball stops glowing. Dusty gets up in a daze from the powerful blast and the burn from the golden ball. Fusho speeds over towards him and kicks him hard in the head finally knocking him out. Fusho turns towards the golden ball and starts to approach it. Fusho is then blasted with a powerful mystic beam, Fusho hits a nearby tree and is knocked out cold. Master clue takes the golden ball. He walks over to Dusty. "Because of you we could have lost this." He says to him in a disappointed voice. Master clue uses his cane and sucks power away from Dusty. "You will have no easy way back to the base as your punishment." He then walks over to Fusho. "Once again Fusho your always one step behind." Master clue puts Fusho inside a mystical barrier and drags him into the portal with him to officially bring his plan into Motion.
